Why Obzedat as a commander?

I'll show you why:

For the Theros gods:

With Obzedat not beeing there in your opponents turn the gods are mostly only enchantments. Only in your turn they are creatures. That makes them really hard to get rid of with creature-exile-removel.

Some other Cmbos with Obzedat:

Necrotic Plague + Obzedat, Ghost Council : Fun and sometimes insane combo. You can just watch while the plague shreds through your opponents creatures. Even the indestructible ones and your Obzedat can never be targeted by the plague.

Obzedat, Ghost Council + Well of Lost Dreams : Draw two cards for two generic mana every upkeep in your turn.

Pristine Talisman + Well of Lost Dreams : Tap the Pristine Talisman for one life and draw a card.

Oblivion Stone, Nevinyrral's Disk, Fated Retribution: Boardwipes at instant speed on your opponents turn gets rid of nealry everything in Obzedats way.

Volrath's Stronghold, Emeria, The Sky Ruin: Graveyard-Recursion on lands is always good and yes Emeria is more often active then you think.

Knight of the White Orchid, Burnished Hart, Solemn Simulacrum: Actual ramp in orzhov colors? Yes pleace.

Toxic Deluge, Decree of Pain, Terminus, Massacre Wurm, Oblivion Stone, Nevinyrral's Disk, Fated Retribution: Just get rid of EVERYTHING, ALWAYS.

Loyal Retainers, Ravos, Soultender, Sepulchral Primordial, Obzedat's Aid, Unburial Rites, Volrath's Stronghold, Emeria, The Sky Ruin: Graveyard-Recursion for everything we blow into the graveyard.

Obzedat, Ghost Council, Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Heliod, Sun-Crowned, Kokusho, the Evening Star, Pontiff of Blight, Blind Obedience, True Conviction, Vault of the Archangel, Pristine Talisman, Exsanguinate: STOP IT! GET SOME HEALTH!

Blind Obedience, Ghostly Prison, Painful Quandary, Ward of Bones, Yosei, the Morning Star: Don't let your opponents develop after you blown out the board.

Everything i didn't specific talk about is just Orzhov Good-Stuff.
